What we’re about
"Return to Connect" is a community reminding us to Return to our most resourced selves, in order to fully connect with each other and our goals.
Ly-Lan Lofgren, therapist, coach, and speaker leads these circles to help people practice effective tools to reach their goals.
Our Free Monday groups are 15 minutes of EMDR and EFT Tapping led by LCSW Therapist, Ly-Lan Lofgren. Q&A and socializing is available after the 15 minute practice. We have up to 80 members practicing together, live, internationally. It's a powerful group experience, and only takes 15 minutes. We are an international group in membership, and Ly-Lan can usually be found physically in California or New Jersey.
Our free Accountability Buddy hours to accomplish our to-do list tasks, with support and encouragement. This Body Doubling time helps us to stay focus and use more of our resources to overcome task paralysis with community support.
Our free Sex Therapy Q&A allows you time to ask your sex and sexuality questions and get specific answers from Ly-Lan, LCSW, Sex Therapist since 2007.
Paid small groups and workshops have specific topics and evidence-based effective tools including Self-Hypnosis, EMDR, EFT, etc.
Ly-Lan Lofgren faciliates each group, and co-hosts may be invited for some groups.
We also have an optional WhatsApp Group for daily support.
